Hi Tom,
When you ordered the netbook ,did you order the ac adapter with it?
If so ,you'd find that most likely this adapter will accept inputs ranging fro
110 V AC to 240 V AC. Then all you need is the country specific adapter plugs.
If not ,here's an example

Amazon lists them too (as you mentioned in the reply I just received)
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Aspire-Aod257-Aod255-Charger/dp/B005CI2166
$15.99
http://www.amazon.com/Intocircuit-532h-2242-532h-2575-532h-2588-D255E-13111/dp/B007QYU69S/ $13.99
Many more as low as $4 Not sure how good they are.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Electric Supply Considerations in Europe and Russia
Fellow Members:
I'm from the United States of America and I will be touring most of the
European countries and part of Russia during a few months in early 2013.
I just purchased and am awaiting delivery of an Acer Aspire One A0722
netbook to take with me to maintain communication with my family using
Skype. I will have a multiple configured electrical plug for power when
I am not using the computer battery and I will also have an inline 110
AC surge suppressor. Are there any other electrical considerations that
I should be aware of so that I do not harm the netbook. I seem to have a
recollection that, unlike the USA that primarily uses 110 AC as a
standard, Europe has (or had) a standard of 220 DC. Of course my memory
might be failing me. But, if that is the case, is there some simple
way(s) to do a conversion? For example I have a small converter to go
from 12 DC input to 110 AC output. If needed, are there converters of
reasonable size and weight to go from 220 DC input to 110 AC output?
Thanks for any information.
Tom
